Flappy bird. Minecraft. Tumblr. Twitter. Fb. Instagram. Apps. Games. Consoles. Etcetera.
If you know all of the games on the first paragraph and played them in your childhood (or still playing), you are great.
If you dont know, they are ACTUAL games. Ones that require PHYSICAL ACTIVITY and not wifi connect. This is our childhood. Soon enough these will be forgotten unless we ENCOURAGE it.
Many of the newer generations are becoming more and more technology dependent.

Why not try solving it on your own?

See? Simple. Dont be dependent on gadgets or technology.
I remember about 3 years ago, I would be running around the school waiting area playing tag with my fellow schoolmates. Now, what do I see? Students on their phones.
It is not completely our fault (Im part of that generation). We are TOLD to be quiet. To STOP running. Look at us in the higher batches, we are not allowed to use the playground. The reason? Because were 'too old'. Excuse us? Is there an age limit? There shouldnt be one. There ISNT one. (As far as I know)
They think once you are older you should grow more MATURE and WISER. What do you mean by that? We will automatically know everything? No. We grow with experience not knowledge.
Knowledge DOES help. But without experience, what is knowledge? We wouldnt know that it is possible to be blind if there were NO blind people.
Birds do not tell their kids the angle and trejectory of their flight. They tell them to spread their wings and fly, followed by a little push. And whether or not the bird flew, the mother bird was there to experience it's first flight, or first fall. After that, they think what could they do. And then they try again. Until the little bird can fly.
We depend so much on technology. Who do you think is gonna catch you when you fall? Your phone? No. They are the people around you.
Have fun! Connect through interaction in real life, in real time.
